The alignment is a function of gravitational attraction that flips the flat mass of the galaxy.
The gravity is galactic accretion process in action

"A European research team has found that the rotation axes of the central supermassive black holes in a sample of quasars are parallel to each other over distances of billions of light-years."
Hmmm, what could it be that causes things to align at such great distances. Couldn't be gravity, the force is not strong enough. Could it be...... electromagnetism?
To: SpaceBar
“... it is pretty undeniable that there is a large scale filamentous like structure to the universe.”
You’d think so, but not to a mainstream cosmologist. They deny it on principle:
“In modern physical cosmology, the cosmological principle is an axiom that embodies the working assumption or premise that the distribution of matter in the universe is homogeneous and isotropic when viewed on a large enough scale, since the forces are expected to act uniformly throughout the universe, and should, therefore, produce no observable irregularities in the large scale structuring over the course of evolution of the matter field that was initially laid down by the Big Bang.”

(Note this is an axiom that is assumed to be true without (or regardless of) evidence)

“The alignment is a function of gravitational attraction that flips the flat mass of the galaxy.”
How does gravity affect the alignment of quasars that are far beyond the normal reach of any significant gravitational attraction?

The distance of 10 Billion Light Years is impossible! We all know the Universe isn’t older than 10,000 years, according to lots of people here, and elsewhere. Could they possibly be wrong?
(flame bait.. I know, but it’s fun sometimes)

(flame bait.. I know, but its fun sometimes) Well, obviously, the light was created well on its way in mid flight here already. . . say 6006 light years away or so.

To: Boogieman
it is my understanding that quasars are associated with black holes and the gravity acts along the accreted linear quasar mass.

Where have I seen that structure before?
Oh yeah on the left...

Similar to the random netting i use to screen birds off my blue berries.
That works out to an interesting size for the bird…
